The Dayton Broncos came out on top of the Humble Wildcats on Sept. 16 after suffering a loss against the Splendora Wildcats on Sept. 9. A close first half ended with the Broncos defeating Humble 41-28.

The Broncos maintained a 17-14 lead after the first half. The Wildcats took control of the game halfway through the third quarter, 21-20, before the Broncos came back with not one, but three touchdowns halfway through the fourth quarter.

The Wildcats gained another touchdown of their own, but the Broncos remained determined to stay ahead, winning 41-28.

Athletic Director Jeff Nation says the Broncos responded well after losing to the Splendora Wildcats the week prior.

“I couldn’t be more proud of them,” he said. “We worked extremely hard.”

The next game for the Broncos is against the New Caney Eagles.

“We’re going to continue to work on our running game,” said Nation.

Nation says the team is also going to work on tackling and overall being more physical when it comes to blocking other players.

“They ran through us a couple of times,” he said referring to the Humble Wildcats. “We’ve got to fight off blocks.”

The Bronco lineup is uncertain at this point due to injuries, but the team will work hard as they move towards their goal to be district champions.
